I agree with Cornel re: closing debate.
If I am not mistaken, Herman does not own GoaNet.
I thought we had agreed that debates should carry on until they die a natural death. Appeals may be made for the participants to end debates but, by no means, should it be dictated by anyone.
I take very strong objection to Herman's dictate.

Goanetters,
I have only just seen, the 24 hour notice, that today is the last day when material re Iraq, and the last American elections are permissible on Goanet. Even if I am the only one to say this, I feel that this is an instance of a tragic dictatorial mistake by a small administrative group, and also, with absolutely minimal notice. It is also tragic, in my view, to trigger the mechanism of censorship just when contributors to this debate had been sensing and expressing the view that there was no more mileage and were ready to stop in the now banned case. Thus, through censorship, Goanet may indeed have snatched defeat from the jaws of (desired) victory!
